STAY ALERT › CONTROL THE VIRUS › SAVE LIVES Some of the rules about what you can do have changed – this is why we are asking everyone to Stay Alert

✅ As long as you stay 2 metres away from people outside your household, from today you are allowed to do the following:

- spend time outdoors - for example sitting and enjoying the fresh air, picnicking, or sunbathing
- meet one other person from a different household outdoors
- exercise outdoors as often as you wish
- use outdoor sports courts or facilities, such as tennis or basketball courts, or golf courses - with members of your household OR one other person outside your household
- go to a garden centre
- Estate agents’ offices can open; Viewings - both virtual and in person - are permitted

❌ As with before, you cannot:

- visit friends and family in their homes
- exercise in an indoor sports court, gym or leisure centre, or go swimming in a public pool
- use an outdoor gym or playground
- visit a private or ticketed attraction
- meet more than one person outside your household, except for a few specific exceptions set out in law (for work, funerals, house moves, supporting the vulnerable, in emergencies and to fulfil legal obligations)

If you or someone from your household is showing coronavirus symptoms, you must self isolate. This is critical to staying safe and saving lives.

You should also continue to wash your hands more often, for 20 seconds, and follow the guidance on hygiene.

HM Government How we can control the virus

We can control the virus by keeping the rate of infection and the number of infections down.

This is how we can continue to save lives and livelihoods as we start to recover from Coronavirus.

Everyone has a role to play in keeping the R down by staying alert and following the rules. Social distancing Changes in transport use (Great Britain)

Social distancing Transport use (Great Britain): Bus (excl. London), TFL tube and Bus data has been adjusted to compare against typical usage for the Easter break, whereas motor vehicles and national rail have not. DfT have published information on data sources and methodology. Data on TFL Buses is not available from Sunday 19 April due to the change in boarding policy. DfT revised the previous week's National Rail usage data on 8 May. Data for Buses (excl. London) on 8 May is not available.

Testing and new cases (UK) Tests: The number of tests includes; (i) tests processed through our labs, and (ii) tests sent to individuals at home or to satellite testing locations. Cases: Cases are reported when lab tests are completed. This may be a few days after initial testing. Chart date corresponds to the date tests were reported as of the 24 hours before 9am that day. Only includes cases tested positive. There are more cases than confirmed here.

Data from hospitals Estimated admissions with COVID-19 (England): Data are for NHS Hospital Acute Trusts with a type 1 A&E in England. Inpatients diagnosed with COVID-19 after admission are assumed to have been admitted on the day prior to their diagnosis. Includes new inpatients with confirmed COVID-19 at the time of admission and inpatients newly diagnosed with COVID-19.

Critical care beds (UK): Different health systems collect this data differently. In England critical care beds count high dependency units / intensive therapy units beds as critical care beds and this includes the surge capacity which has been introduced in recent weeks. In Wales critical care beds are taken to be invasive ventilation beds including new surge capacity. In Scotland critical care beds include ICU beds and additional surge capacity. In Northern Ireland critical care beds includes all ICU beds.

People in hospital with COVID-19 (UK) Community hospitals are included in figures for Wales from 23 April onwards. England and Scottish data includes ‘confirmed’ cases, Northern Ireland and Welsh data includes 'confirmed' and 'suspected' cases. Due to the way Northern Ireland report, the UK figure is calculated by taking the most recent day for Great Britain plus the previous day for Northern Ireland. National data may not be directly comparable as data about COVID-19 patients in hospitals is collected differently across nations.

Daily COVID-19 deaths confirmed with a positive test (UK) Figures on deaths relate to those who have tested positive for COVID-19. The 7-day rolling average (mean) of daily deaths is plotted on the last day of each seven day period.
